LOL Thanks Harv. Joy at still being here, etc!

Happy Birthday John

Just so glad we're both here at this ripe old age ... I'm only a few months behind you.

Thanks Gaz. I agree that it's nice to see something a bit different. Might do a Corsair too later on.

I've thought about it but that would be a big mother! I might if a earlier version such as the "E" "F" or "G" were available.

WOT ? You had started a SBD kit ? I must have been away for at least …. two weeks  

When I think that I procrastinated for months about building mine, with all the bells and whistles in AM, before deciding it was going to be too much work, and decided to sell it away. You have again proved, and in what a way, that your approach to modeling is much better than mine, and definitely more productive

Anyway, well done John 👍 !

LOL Thank you Hubert! Got to stay busy building and the SBD is a nice kit, both the -3 and the -5.

Outstanding job. That kit is one of their best, to be sure. Yet it suffers from the same gaffe as the Wildcat. Both the Dauntless and Wildcat had RAISED rivets. Why they did not model it that way escapes me.

Thank you. I agree it's one of their better kits!

I think putting the bars on the standard NZ roundels was a smart move.

You don’t know how many red-blue colorblind gunners there were out there….
